Bug #1126

Extracting Exif from PNG in Exiv2-0.25

Description

I can't import PNG metadata using 0.25 version of Exiv2. The reason I think it's a bug (pardon me if I am wrong) is that the same code worked with 0.24 version.

Thanks,
Mikayel

Do you have a test PNG image?

I am very surprised by your report because I can't think of any changes to pngimage.cpp for v0.25 that could have caused this.

Are you sure that you have libz linked to your code? You need libz for PNG support. Run this command: 

514 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/trunk $ exiv2 --verbose --version --grep libz
exiv2 0.25 001900 (64 bit build)
library=/usr/local/lib/libz.1.dylib
library=/usr/lib/libz.1.dylib
have_libz=0
515 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/trunk $
I ran this the Mac, the output will be a little different on Windows or Linux. However you can see libz shared object/dll in memory.

Windows:

C:\cygwin64\home\rmills\gnu\exiv2\trunk\msvc2005\bin\win32\releasedll>exiv2 --verbose --version --grep zlib --grep libz
exiv2 0.25 001900 (32 bit build)
library=C:\cygwin64\home\rmills\gnu\exiv2\trunk\msvc2005\bin\win32\releasedll\zlib1.dll
have_libz=1

C:\cygwin64\home\rmills\gnu\exiv2\trunk\msvc2005\bin\win32\releasedll>

Linux: 

1004 rmills@rmillsmm-kubuntu:~/gnu/exiv2/trunk $ exiv2 --verbose --version --grep libz --grep zlib --grep lib
exiv2 0.25 001900 (64 bit build)
library=/usr/local/lib/libz.so.1
have_libz=1
1005 rmills@rmillsmm-kubuntu:~/gnu/exiv2/trunk $
You will always report have_libz= either 0 or 1. However you'll only report the library=path-to-library when your building exiv2 to use DLLs or shared objects. If you statically link, the DLL/shared object will not be loaded at run-time. However, you will have LIBZ and therefore PNG support.

Incidentally, I see --verbose --version is incorrectly reporting have_libz=0. I've logged that as #1127 fixed it r3978 and r3980. It's reporting correctly now, as you can see on the Windows and Linux output which was built after I submitted r3978.

I have zlib1.dll and zlib1.lib but I don't know what libz is?

Online Exif extractors find data in the image (e.g. http://exifdata.com/exif.php)

#5

Updated by Alan Pater about 6 years ago

  • Category changed from exif to metadata

The test file appears to include only IPTC and ICC metadata, not EXIF.

exiv2 can read the IPTC metadata but not the ICC (Colour Profile) metadata.

#6

Updated by Robin Mills about 6 years ago

zlib1.dll on Windows is the same thing as libz.so.1 on Linux and libz.1.dylib on Mac. Very inconsistent names. However that's how it is.

exiftool is reporting lots of metadata - however I don't believe it is Exif data (I discuss this later). exiv2 v0.22, v0.24 and trunk (v0.25) says "No Exif data found in the file".

I'm not sure there is a case to answer here, Mikayel. You'll have to find more solid evidence that we've changed something.

Exiv2 v0.22

As you can see there's an IPTC 'profile'. I think the ICM data may be a colour profile. One of the projects for v0.26 is to extract/replace ICC profiles. #1074 At the moment, I've done this for JPG and haven't found a suitable test file for PNG. Thanks for this file, this will be very useful.
